After taking my daughter to a birthday party, I caught the bus to Berlin Mitte, got out and ran a quick 2K warm-up to the Brandenburg Gate, the starting line of my 5K Tiergarten route on which I finished with a 25:10, one second faster than last week. The weather forecast had called for thunderstorms this afternoon, so I took the straight route home from there, successfully avoiding a huge thunderstorm cloud that moved over the city north of me from west to east, and I arrived home safe and dry. Nice to get another 5K sprint in, 99 days till the Warsaw Marathon.

Berlin Runner

My name is Edward Tanguay, my marathon training consists of one long run a week, usually between 3 and 4 hours of running through or out of Berlin, often as an adventure run to go discover some landmark or investigate some part of town.
